WOW!

Looks awsome mate . shall be going for it , the only thing i hate about the aero kit is the black grille but i see u have changed it back to the original grille which i want , i know the upper part is a straight forward swap but how did u fit the lower part as i heard it dosent have the same fitting clips as the aero grille?

Cheers,
Paul

as i know & saw, the job is a holy peace of sh##! the clips of the aero-grill and the original grill doesn't fit. you have to drill new holes!

have fun & no aerokit

My dealer have fixed it, I don't know how he did it, but he has done a great job I think, and OK it cost a little of money but for me it was worth to pay for it because my wife wont it and I can not say NO to her M.J.J.

Well if you can get the aero-sideskirts + rear because the front bumper on the 'S' is smart enough I think, then get it all colour coded.

It'll look the dogs dangly bits!

DO IT!! Looks the dogs hangers MJJ we are almost twins.
I have the black front grill and don't quite like it. Glad I kept my original red/silver grill as I'll put it back on this Spring.

IMHO the rear and sides of the aero kit look brilliant but the front valance has come straight of the BMW 3 series kit... Not thank you, just doesn;t work for me on the MINI...

Though there are some other mad kits out there I like the front valance on the MCS...


QQQ what are those wheels, they look amazing and does that car have painted black trim on the arches or is that just the light??? Looks mad....

This car is going to lose me my license one day. I LOVE IT!!!

QQQ thanks for the pics I have one coming DS/W with the aero kit. Will be finishing the look by blacking out the area where the fog lites are and grilling the rear valence. Also be putting on 18" Gunmetal wheels. Ill post some pics in April after it gets here in march.

I would purchase the Aero Kit if cost was not such an issue. Since it is...according to my wife , I went with the Aero grill, and plan to get the front apron this summer. As it stands now, I will keep the stock side skirts and rear apron. The money saved from these purchases will be used to purchase my Magnaflow exhaust

I'm not sure but they look a lot like these Wiesmann rims (with 10 instead of 8 spokes)
